Our child loves coming to nursery. The staff here have been amazing. They got to know him, which helped him settle. They always clearly communicate whatever has gone on in the day and how he has been. He goes in now with no crying, waving bye to us but always really excited to see his key worker.

Fantastic support from staff in supporting my child's emotional development. She talks non-stop about 'Colour Monster' and relates to her own feelings. The staff gave me a check-in resource to use at home which has been effective in supporting my child to express his emotions.

Initially, I was worried and nervous about sending my child to nursery but it was the best decision we made as a family. My child has come on since nursery and absolutely loves being there. The staff are amazing and so informative. My child comes out happy and can't wait to visit again. Good range of
food, toys and activities. The staff are very caring and attentive. I would highly recommend it to other parents.

The baby and toddler room plus the Senco worker have been amazing at learning about my daughter's needs and making me feel very relaxed about leaving her at nursery, something that feels even harder for parents of children with complex needs. They've been thorough with her care and I trust them completely
with her feeding and all aspects of her routine. I've told everyone who will listen how amazing they've been and I can't wait to see how much she thrives at Kids Planet Tong. Thank you.

Our son has been quite poorly with a chest infection, cough, fever, cold, and gunky eyes - the lot this month!
The lovely ladies have been so caring towards him, provided extra updates on the app and phoned to inform us if he was needing paracetamol or generally not himself.
My wife and I are so thankful
for their care and attention to detail.

Where do I start, what an amazing nursery!
My little boy started when he was 12 months old, I was nervous about going back to work and my mind was put at ease constantly. All the girls are amazing - 4 ladies in particular (everyone in babies/tots and of course the management. It is run professionally
with so much care. I would not want my little boy going anywhere else. He has come along so much with walking, talking and his speech. Thank you all, you are all superstars! Keep smashing it!

Our little boy has been going here since he was 10 months old. He absolutely loves going to nursery, he has so many friends and loves all the workers. The staff have been great at helping him to develop. The management and staff are always great at answering any questions you have. They keep you informed
of everything to do with your child. It is a great nursery with lots of facilities and resources and will be sad when our child leaves. Knowing how happy our son is when he comes to nursery speaks a thousand words of how great it is. Thank you all!

Everything about Kids Planet Tong is amazing. The staff are so caring, welcoming and know all of the children (and parents) very well. Our daughter has learned so much and has progressed academically, socially and emotionally whilst at Kids Planet. Our experience has been extremely positive and I would
definitely recommend it to others.

I would like to state that Kids Planet Tong is the best nursery I have ever been to.
I have both of my sons in this nursery and they have both developed so much. Both of my kids were born in Covid so they didn't have the best social skills as they were not around anyone due to the lockdown.
The nursery
staff have brought my kids out of their shells. They have been fabulous. I could not praise them anymore.

My child has attended Kids Planet for three years and I can honestly say it has been wonderful! The team are fantastic and have taught my child to be loving, caring and helpful. She will be going to school in September and preschool has prepared her for the transition. She loves her time there and it
will be sad when she does move on up to school. Thank you for all that you do Kids Planet Team!

I cannot recommend Kids Planet Tong highly enough, as a place that knows its children and families really well and strives to provide the best for them. All the staff are warm, engaged and caring and have lovely bonds with the children. My son has sometimes struggled to settle on a morning, and each
time the practitioners in his room know just what to say to bring him round! The online system is great for keeping parents informed - we love seeing the pictures of what he has been getting up to during the day! Excellent in all areas!

I cannot rate this nursery more highly each child and family is treated like family and is given the highest quality of care and support to achieve their full potential. The staff are warm welcoming and supportive and make an effort to get to know the family, not just the child. The activities and resources
are exciting and enticing and provide amazing experiences for the children. The management is of the highest quality and involved in all aspects of the nursery and is always a friendly face. The children are settled in really well and parents and carers are kept fully up to date. The nursery is clean and well presented and one of the best around.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (10.000)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (10.000) out of 10 for Kids Planet Tong is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 15 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 5.000 for Kids Planet Tong is calculated as follows: ( (179 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 179 Ratings = 5

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kids Planet Tong is based on 15 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 60 number of registered child places is 12, which has been reached with 15 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
